Hebrews
Last night I started to read / pray / meditate / journal through the book of Hebrews. I’ll probably post a lot of my thoughts that I find helpful here but certainly not all of them. Now, I’ve only done one day and one verse, but I have a feeling this is going to be awesome. I have no idea how long the epistle will take or how big of a chunk I’ll take each day or how the Spirit will lead me to journal, but I am very excited to find out.
I have heard from many wise people that this is a good thing to do. I said about a month ago that I like to read the Bible through systematically for maintenance and try to master a section – so Hebrews is my new place for “mastery”. I put that in quotes because I know I’ll be far from a master – kind of like the people who work at the apple store are far from geniuses (I know some).
Anyway, this is something that you might look into as well, with a different book or passage of Scripture.
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken, 1915
Good stuff…
